Winners lose battles but they win the war

Verse

I could blame fate for my mistakes.

I could give up and not try.

But daddy would be ashamed of me.

He wasn’t that kind of guy.

Pre chorus

He’d say quitters never win.

If he got thrown he’d get up

And climb on the horse again.

Chorus

He’d say in life you win some

You lose even more.

He’d say winners lose battles

But they win the war.

Verse

He said whenever one door closes

You find another way in.

You don’t wave a white flag

Till the day you cash it in.

Pre chorus

He’d say quitters never win.

If he got thrown he’d get up

And climb on the horse again.

Chorus

He’d say in life you win some

You lose even more.

He’d say, winners lose battles

But they win the war.

Bridge

Lately I’ve had some hard luck.

For a while I lost my way.

But whenever things get rough

I think what would daddy say?

Pre chorus

He’d said quitters never win.

If he got thrown he’d get up

And climb on the horse again.

Chorus

He’d say in life you win some

You lose even more.

He’d say, winners lose battles

But they win the war.

Daddy wasn’t a quitter

And damn it neither am I.
